When planning a vacation, it’s important to ensure your pool remains clean and balanced in your absence. At Tarson Pools and Spas, we recommend implementing a “vacation plan” for your pool to prevent the accumulation of debris and bacteria, ensuring you return to a pristine and inviting swimming environment.
Contact us at Tarson Pools and Spas for a tailored vacation maintenance plan. We can provide specific instructions based on your pool’s needs and the products you use.
- Thorough Cleaning: Before leaving, make sure to clean your pool thoroughly. This includes brushing and vacuuming the walls and floors to remove debris and prevent algae growth.
- Water Balance Check: Test your pool water to ensure it’s properly balanced. Pay close attention to total alkalinity and pH levels, as imbalances in these can worsen over time if not addressed.
- Filtration: Keep your pool’s pump running for at least eight hours a day to maintain adequate filtration. If you have a timer, set it accordingly. If not, you might consider asking a neighbor or using a smart pool management system to regulate the pump operation.
- Post-Vacation Care: Upon your return, it’s a good idea to have a professional water analysis done. At Tarson Pools and Spas, we can check your pool to ensure it’s properly balanced and ready for you to enjoy.
Remember, proper preparation is key to maintaining your pool’s health and preventing issues while you’re away. Our team at Tarson Pools and Spas is here to assist you with all your pool maintenance needs, ensuring a worry-free vacation and a welcoming pool upon your return.
